Warner Cooperative Cheese Factory Warner Township, Clark Co., WI Contributed by Elmer Noah & Shelly and Stan Schwarze
More Limburger A New Cheese Factory to Be Started On the West Side and Will Be on the Co-operative Plan Officers Elected and Work Well Started
For some time past the farmers of the West Side have been agitating the possibility of establishing a cheese factory to utilize their "cow product," thereby gaining the profit, without sharing the gain with middle men. The project has caused no small interest among the farmers, and at last their ambitious designs are to be realized in the erection of a first class cheese factory which after completion will be known as the Town of Warner Co-Operative Cheese Factory, located at Benjamin's corners, near the Herman Schwarze school house (later known as the Benjamin School).
The constructive preparations are already begun, ground staked out, stone hauled for the foundation, and a well already drilled. The factory is to be a commodious structure 24x90 ft., fully equipped with all the necessary modern conveniences and when completed and ready for operation, which will be about May 1st, 1906, will cost approximately $1,000.
The manager has already secured the required number of cows to make the project a success, having over 90 cows and 16 shareholders, up to date, the required number being only 75 cows.
All who are interested in this new industry are cordially invited to join hands and help push the good work along. It is generally conceded that the county should have cheese factories liberally scattered throughout the farming districts thereby enabling the farmers to realize financially the full benefit of their herds.
The officers of the new corporation are: President, Thos. Hammre. Treasurer, Herman Schwarze. Secretary, A. F. Varney. Salesman, Thos. Hammre. Building committee: B. F. Ketchpaw, Geo. Buker, Wm. Benjamin and Herman Schwarze.
